This event was rescheduled from Friday 4 October 2024
Recorded in Abbey Road Studio 2 on Earth Day 2024, Earth Day Blue is the fourteenth release from Nick Harper, the wildly talented and much-loved singer-songwriter.
Earth Day Blue is peppered with acoustic ear-worms written with a Studio 2 Beatles-esque approach of short, immediate songs, but with the added brio of a group of studio attendees sometimes driven to sing along to Nick’s guitar and voice, adding a party atmosphere to the day. Along the way, Nick displays all his (un)usual talents, from his trademark virtuoso string-bending guitar playing, to his penchant for prose poems when describing the scene at Abbey Road in the 70s in ‘The Lady in the Fur Coat.’
The recording captures the magic of a live performance in a controlled environment, though, in a space such as this, dripping with portent and legacy, there is a tangible added depth of poignancy and emotion underlying the album. For Nick Harper fans and for new fans alike, it is all here in unadorned beauty, an album that witnesses a solo artist without dilution or compromise, nor studio trickery or production prop, having a great day performing in one of the most hallowed rooms on the planet.
‘Harper has so much musicianship in him it just leaks out all over the place’ – The Times
‘One of the finest guitarists of his generation, the Bard of Wiltshire’ – Mojo
‘He deserves to become a major figure in his own right’ – The Guardian
